Anybody else in the Kansas City area see activity on RF 28? Scans in with my HD Homerun but there's no channel data. I'm 40 miles south of downtown, so I'm guessing it's not KCJO from St. Joseph.

That might be a Tropo event coming in from who knows where. https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html
Choose your region in the upper left dropdown list. Times are in UTC, so you'll have to convert. Click in the middle of the page to skip through all the available time and day periods.
More likely a station is playing around with setting up an new channel or experimenting with propagation on that channel. Tropo usually has programming since it is a real channel in use somewhere.
That's true IF he got a completely locked-in signal. Since he didn't, per his screenshot, Tropo is still the most likely issue. I get exactly what he was getting all the time during Tropo events. UNLESS the signal comes in hot enough, that it's over 50% and locked, you won't get programming or anything more.
Route66Fan is right, it's supposed to be KCMN. But just like KAJF on RF 17, and KQML on RF 35, no information scans in. Take a look at the current live bandscan for my location:
